API Session Best Practices

Darrin Katz
$organization

Hi everyone,

We're looking at cleaning up our legacy session handling code used by our websites. I just wanted to ask the community if they have any specific recommendations for best practices regarding how to manage the session key, session variables, and session timeouts on your websites.

I've taken a look at the documents in the "Web API Documentation" for v9.0, so I'm looking for advice that goes beyond what is covered there.

Thanks!

    Darrin, I’m not sure if this is what you are looking for, but there is a new procedure in version 9 called UP_CLEAR_WEB_TABLES.  This is an optional utility which will remove data from the web tables which may be old or out of date.  This may be desirable particularly if there is a large volume of web sales as the web tables can become quite large.  I would suggest you take  a look at the Version 9.0 Highlights documentation and in particular the section entitled ‘Utility to Clear Old Data from Web Tables’ which documents this procedure.

    Hi Gregg,
     
    Thanks for pointing this out.
     
    When I said "cleaning up our legacy session handling code" I was referring to the logic used by our websites, not the session data stored in our database. We inherited a lot of code that needs to be revised, which is why I'm asking the community for their input.
     
    Thanks again,
    Darrin
